27th Penal Panzers

I got what you meant i was saying that you get some of the horror of SV in Stalingrad.

I felt Stalingrad felt very much like a SV book put to film.

Stalingrad was on of the best, most realistic war films ever made. I have it at home, must watch it again soon.

Re read it , got the wrong end of the drift

if its track crushing, watch "the beast", t55 in afganistan 1980`s

they drive over a man , from toes to head. good effects.

bullshit film, t55 has a flamethrower,mustard gas, bottom hatch Etc Etc, motion detectors

but a good blast all the same,

best bit is when the mujhaden find a russain helecopter,

"hassan , you are clever, can you learn a helecopter???"

I see the thread title's changed again

Yes, I 'm letting them get it out of their systems

its actually called 'the beast of war' me thinks bruv.

good film, not seen it for years though

Now it is called just "the beast" I've got it on DVD.

Gadge why dont you do a character?

I'm quite a character in my own right thanks.

and #personally' although its great fun I feel as an organiser I need to keep a foot in historical reality to help the rest of the guys make the best games we can for you.

Wicked that players put a few literary twists on the game but if we start doing it ourselves then it could end up being
'sven hassel themed airsofting' rather than 'wwii themed airsofting'

The other thing is i dont think i identify with anyone in Sven Hassel books particuarly.

When i was serving i had a nickname of 'pamphlet boy' as i knew the drills backwards as i had to teach them myself after i learnt 'em so i made sure i was very very accurate and i used to take soldiering incredibly seriously which a few guys in my platoon didnt.

E.g. on exercise patrols i'd treat them as i f they were real and my life depended on them and not bimble around cos it was a 'laugh' and 'only training'.

So if anyone i was a bit of a Heide.

Do a Heide youd be good Gadge.

We've already got a heide

i think people know, i was the opposite to gadge,

so was a lot of my unit, i always had a laugh first, job second, i suppose i was a liabillity in this way

one of the laughs i wasnt keen on was in northern irland when the section commander "MAC THE BASTARD" thought "gregory and attwell, go and check that BBC radio mast, when we did , the two landrovers sped off, all the guys laughing.

they thought theyd shit us up, we moved location, then went to ground by the road and cammed up.

100 yds away was a petrol station, attwelll says, "im starving"

so we stalkeded up to the fuel station, and when he went in for grub and drinks i covered him through the glass with my SLR and SUIT sight.
we then retired to the bushes and had a scoff out.

20 miniutes later the rovers returned, and we stayed hidden, the section 2IC was shouting us and we just hid, "oh shite theve been snatched" said the 2IC
, then we heard the section commander (MAC the bastard) say, "nah theve not, there would be empty cases everywhere, gregorys a right trigger happy twat".

at that point attwell ran for the rovers with me following, "where have you C**TS been", said mac

then he sees attwells carrier bag of goodies

He went mental threatening him with a charge, untill "Barrack room lawyer Gregory" pointed out his "joke" wouldnt go down well with the OC

so no charge, but me and attwell spent our next day off (only 1 off every 21 days) outside camp, covered by the section, and we were painting kerbstones red white and blue in body armour helmets etc in july heat

then the OC saw it, went mental about "provokeing the locals" and me and attwell ,, had to paint them all grey again

as a squaddie, you can NEVER win

Yeha a mate did say once

'are you for real?'

when i was looking round corners at ankle height on an exercise.

I was always of the belief that continual repetition of the right drill makes it automatic under stress.

(i think its 14,000 repetitions of drill to make it instinctive - psychologically medically proven like)

I gave up quite lot to choose to solider and i knew that Sandhurst was going to be bloody hell unless i did everything by the book, so i was overly hard on myself to be fair.

Relaxed off duty but took the job incredibly seriously as i knew i was being 'watched' most the time by my sponsors for RMAS.
